Did not ex-VP Pence commit dereliction of duty and violate his Oath?

[Alexander Of Assyria]

By also not informing the FBI, DOJ, CIA, etc. that the President of the United States of America was actively planning and fomenting a violent overthrow of an democratically elected government? Should the DOJ not drop a similar Indictment on his sorry head as the ex-President? Have they already laid out the law on that for his consideration as he mulls over voluntarily testifying for the prosecution? Or under compulsion of a criminal trial courts, your choice Benedict.

Repeat, the VP was aware of an attempted coup and did nothing more than flee from the Senate in terror, secretly knowing why his life was in peril. Keeping everyone in the dark as American democracy almost burned.

Pence, to me, is the new age Benedict Arnold. At least he won’t flee the country, he’s needed to testify at upcoming trials! Doubt he even has a passport anymore.

In summary, Pence is getting the best legal advise money can buy and it sure as hell does not include bad advise from a lawyer that taking bad legal advice means you are innocent of the crime you committed. Co- conspirators are all criminals, lawyers or not, legal advise or not. Duh, it’s a conspiracy!

The prosecution calls to the stand, Michael Pence!

3. Everyone who knew the fix was underway had knowledge a crime was to be committed

Days and sometimes weeks in advance!!!

4. Precisely. Co-conspirators. A wealth of witnesses, or targets for indictments, their choice.

5. Accepting the V. P. position was treason.

6. Please do explain

How you reached that conclusion

17. I usually draw with dry erase markers

Since I make a lot of mistakes.

It's ok, since you don't have an answer, you could have just ignored my question.

7. The answer to your question is no. Had pence participated, he would not have

accepted the electoral college votes and God knows what would have happened. If we get the ring leaders like Meadows ET AL and Trump- as well as the foot soldiers, I will be very pleased. Mike Pence did one honorable thing in his career and that was to support the Republic and the constitution by participating in the peaceful transfer of power. Presidents have a great deal of power. And I hope that some who refused to vote for Hillary in 2016 for no reason really... will never again put our Republic in danger by helping to elect a person of bad character- a grifter - to the presidency.

8. It would seem

that Quayle should have said something too. He obviously wasn't in office but if I got a call from a sitting VP asking if he should follow Trump's lead on the vote counting, I'd feel like l'd need to say something to somebody.

12. The fact he asked Quayle if he could, tells me he is a loser.

Pence is no hero.

[Mad_Machine76]

14. No he isn't

The fact that he did what he was legally supposed to do did not a hero make him. The fact that he even felt like he had to ask Quayle ("Father"?) was pretty pathetic.

[Bluethroughu]

15. I just can't stand his sanctimonious attitude, like he went above

and beyond his call of duty...when all he did was what he was supposed to do, but had to ask "the father" if he could do it. He's a joke.

9. One of the great joys of retirement is...

...that I rarely get asked if I am grading "on the curve".

[Bluethroughu]

10. He is NOT a hero.

If he was a patriot, he would of at least went to the media and said, the Republican party along with the pResident were working to subvert our Democracy and replace our Republic with a Autocratic strongman for Putin. Pence was in on it until he wasn't.

He was the second in Command of the largest military power in the world, he is just as culpable as the others that aided this attack on our country.

Maybe he doesn't get prison time, but he is to weak to hold office in this country ever again. He was willing to let it slip away, because he didn't want to be labeled the snitch. He's worthless.

11. "The prosecution calls to the stand, Michael Pence!"...no it doesn't

The prosecution cannot call the Defendant to the stand. It can cross-exam if and only if the Defendant takes the stand by his own choice.

[Alexander Of Assyria]

13. Ofc. Pence is witness! Won't be indicted, in exchange,
